PDXpert PLM Software
Product Lifecycle Management
PLM software reduces your product unit costs
Reduce unit costs with earlier collaboration and better change control
Most production costs are set at first release. PDXpert helps you get the right input earlier, reuse parts intentionally, and reduce scrap, rework, and excess inventory.
Product lifecycle management offers design agility while maximizing production efficiency.
More frequent, less intrusive collaboration
Most of a product's lifetime production costs are established by its first engineering release. Real-time visibility into design decisions is necessary to provide timely feedback from employees in design, sourcing, production, quality and service.
With PDXpert PLM software, all product plans, drawings and procedures for procurement, production, inspection, service, repair and disposal are available in a single secure location, without distracting designers with ongoing requests for in-process data. User security roles allow you to tailor information access based on item release status and project team membership.
Simplify inventory by optimizing fewer parts in larger volumes
You can radically reduce inventory costs by focusing on part re-use, which smooths demand to suppliers, leverages higher component volumes, and reduces purchasing overhead costs and tooling expense.
The Problem with Manual Processes
Part re-use can be difficult without automation. Relying on a designer's memory or searching through the ERP system is a hit-or-miss solution. As a result, re-use candidates are often overlooked, and duplicate parts are specified and sourced.
✓ The PDXpert Solution
PDXpert PLM software encourages attribute-based item exploration, which helps engineers quickly identify workable parts that are already in inventory.
Increase production experience
Earlier product introductions ensure longer, more profitable production runs. Studies have shown that longer production lifecycles deliver predictable cost reductions that are unavailable to products with shorter life spans.
Reduce production rework and scrap
PDXpert PLM software is specifically designed to provide a full audit trail of all changes to the design including:
Automated Quality Control
Change workflows ensure that product modifications are reviewed and approved prior to release. Online review and approval is:
- ▸Faster than paper-based processes
- ▸More comprehensive with automated routing
- ▸Consistent with built-in production and inspection processes
Minimize excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory
Reduce your exposure to excess and obsolete inventory through:
- 1.Fewer part types via intelligent re-use
- 2.Immediate access to purchasing specifications
- 3.Cost impact analysis of proposed changes on affected items
- 4.Clear supplier coordination during changes
Together, these benefits can reduce your E&O inventory expenses by up to 80%.
